We've been toasting the 'ole snake charmer for many moons now {why did I choose to word it his way?  13yr old boy brain, I swear}. ​Since 2005 we've consumed multiple pints of green beer at Little Woodrow Midtown, Pub Fiction, Celtic Gardens, Rice Village, & the Heights. This year, we decided to give Cypress a shot. 

Even though Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, Christmas holds an extremely close second.  I love the "art" of picking out a tree, the decorations, the merriment, the parties, and all that yummy food!

This year we went to a few Christmas parties but the Pajama party was by far the most comfortable one.  Cody picked up his Elf Pajamas at Target & the boxers were able to make another appearance; I bought my sleep shirt at Old Navy for under $5! {Yes, I'm very proud of that- it was already marked down but as the cashier ran the tag across the scanner the very top button broke off giving me an additional 50% off- I won't ever be able to wear it as a Chola, but what can you do?} 

We take Christmas cards VERY seriously in our household; We've been sending cards out for the past 7 years, each year progressively getting more animated and trying to "outdo" the year before, but we KNEW this year we truly needed to "bring it" because we fell off in 2013!  In our defense, 2013 was an eventful year- we both turned 30 {which meant 2 big birthday bashes}, we filmed Yard Crashers, hosted a Thanksgiving for 34, spent a week in NYC, and a whole lot more... so this year we started plotting in October and it was a no brainer when this idea was born, behold the Miles' 2014 Christmas Card:
